Above is the map of how far Queendom Website has traveled,
nice for MacSoph and me, but doubly nice because it shows that needlework is indeed alive and well right round the world.
No Sales Right now. Soon hopefully but first I have a list of to-do projects.
I will offter Pride and Prejudice Needle Book at my sale in October. Hopefully I will be better equipped to have a sale then -- for heaven help us if our house is not finished by then.

My World of Needlework
Still a mess here in our house but I have opted to live in a mess and rturn to work. We'll see how it goes.
Happy July on Queendom Website!
A Reminder
If you are new to my designs, please read about my instructions and the reason I package them the way I do.
Scroll down to lower yellow navigation bar and click on
INSTRUCTIONS.
Scroll down to see my first Collector Sampler, American Silver Thimbles. The two are meant to be a pair and are the same size and layout. Again, with American Collector the patterns are all adapted from thimbles and scissors,
although none so fancy as my Art Nouveau Scissors.
Below is my little 6" square box top
Many of my favorite thimbles and scissors came from my friend Carolyn Meacham. Many of you have asked for her eBay site and website. Here are the links.
I had planned to finish my little feautre on scissors and thimbles with my beautiful Guilloche thimble, but then I remembered this photo, one I had taken for the cover of a small booklet and a Guilloche Sampler that I had made some years ago.
On the right is the cover of the booklet showing two buttons, three thimbles, a stiletto (which we modern stitchers use as laying tools), needle case, German scissors, two bodkins (ribbon threaders, a tatting shuttle and a hemmeasure.
All have enamel decorations.
My geometric using the little guilloche montees (vintage beads) along with some pearls and glass beads. I made this several years ago and sold it at EWeek. I will try and bring it back perhaps in October. Depends if I have the supplies including the beads..
Supplies for the above project
Guilloche Sampler
The holiday weekend is over and I'm returning to house chores today, and I am starting to work on a small number of packages I've owed to people for too long. Meanwhile, on Queendom Website I return to my series of Guilloche designs.
Below are a collection of small Guilloche brooches (pins) from the first half of the 19th century. Tomorrow: why I collected them. Of interest: I googled them to see if I could find any for sale and what the prices were. I found a number very reasonably priced -- the most reasonable of little enamel trifles. Tomorrow: what I did with one of them.
